Pros

Good Joinin Pay. Flexible Work hours and PTO

Cons

Micromanagement, merit based hike is bare minimum year over year. You may feel stuck at a point. No support from management, evryone's for themselves. All your hard work is shadowed and hike is on the mercy of line managers. They would only push you if at all it benefits them a wholesome. Higher management only knows you if are a good pawn at the disposal and lick any and every thing forced.

Pros

On some teams, it's a low-intensity workplace with relatively generous work-life balance.

Cons

It's a big faceless corporation that isn't interested in pushing its employees to learn and improve. Layoffs are a frequent concern. Sometimes, workplace relations seems to take priority over rational decisions when it comes to how resources get allocated.
